    Stopped by for lunch. Wonderful pastries, sandwiches and coffee, along the waterfront.

    Salmon toast

    This was my favorite restaurant in all of my AK visit (Seward, Anchorage, and Denali). The smoked salmon was amazing as were many of their other breakfast items. I would have come back to try their lunch options the next day if I had more time! AMAZING do not skip this place.

    Counter and menu.

    Ate here twice during our visit - lunch then breakfast. Great atmosphere and better food. Staff is incredibly kind and welcoming. Sandwiches are filling and very good. Breakfast the same.

    Wonderful place! Lovely staff offering up great food! Beautiful views from the dining area. Open for breakfast and lunch. We had the old faithful and the yogurt bowl. Both were amazing! The reindeer sausage is so good! We were here two days and went back the second day.

    They offer coffee, sandwiches, pastries, beer and wine.

    Wow! What a find? So glad we decided to come here from lunch. Their paninis and sandwiches are very tasty. The staff is super nice and the food came out quick!

    Had a delicious meal and what a beautiful little shop on Ressurection Bay! The Oakie is my fave sandwich, I've had it a couple of times, but I did pick up. This time I got to sit with my Dad and enjoy a cup of chowder, too! Some of the best chowder I've ever had. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly and kind, timely, and doing every task without us even asking. I enjoyed it and will be back!!

    This was really great! Hopped off the train and checked out the sealife center next door. Stopped by for lunch and service was nice and quick, we just chilled outside with the gorgeous view until we could eat! They gave me my latte in a cute mug and it came out before the food did. The panini was nice and crispy, and they even subbed out sundried tomatoes for regular at my request. Boy's sandwich was... piled with lettuce. He ended up with a side salad alongside the 'wich. 10/10 just for that view.

    Order counter inside.

    We loved Zudys! Located at the Water front park in Seward, it's housed in an historic railway station. Cute eaterie with a good assortment of sandwiches, soups, and salads. Sandwiches are definitely shareable! We didn't try the desserts but they had a good choice of cheesecakes and cakes. Order at the counter and they bring you the food at your table. For the amount of business they do, the food came out very quickly. They also have outdoor seating.

    Zudy's Cafe is a delightful find in a hideaway town at the top of Resurrection Bay, off of the Gulf of Alaska. The pleasant and prompt service delivered appetizing fare in a rustic, down home type of cafe' that is very welcoming to outsiders and locals alike. Decorated with art for sale by local artists this gem is an unintentional gallery that also serves food. My party enjoyed; a Belgian Waffle, the Breakfast Platter featuring; Reindeer Sausages, eggs, sourdough bread and potatoes, and The Salmon and Eggs featuring; smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, on sourdough toast with sprouts and a chili sauce. All food was prepared quickly and expertly, served hot and bursting with flavor. Price-wise, Zudy's is on par with other Alaskan eateries, which is to say pricey compared to the lower 48. Be prepared to pay $20.00+ PP for breakfast meals. On a brisk Alaskan morning in Seward, AK, Zudy's Cafe receives my highest and hearty recommendation.

    Great breakfast spot with amazing outdoor views! Food was solid, but the real star is the scenery perfect place to start the day. Sweet restaurant pup outside :)

    We were greeted with friendly smiles as we entered this quaint cafe. My spinach salad was delicious. Exceptional service, a delicious menu at a fair price is what we found. It's clean and inviting. Eclectic artwork hands through the cafe as well as artwork for sale, jewelry and fresh made baked goods. A true gem in Seward, AK

    The panini sandwich was really yummy and warm to the soul. They sell it with a side a side of chips and aioli. You order at the counter (to go or for here) and they'll serve it to your table. It's self serve water, napkins, and utensils as well. This little restaurant is really cute and the vibes remind of me of a grandma's house.

    Tiny little cafe with really good soup and sandwiches or panini's. Ordered the Oakie and roasted chicken soup. The Oakie comes with Bacon Gouda, havarti onions and apples so good. The soup just what the Dr ordered with the cool weather. Just may need to wait a few minutes for a table as it's so tiny inside. Friendly service and you have to clear your own tables.

    Breakfast platter was very underwhelming for the price. No flavor. Better options in town.

    This place is like a mini-Whole Foods mixed with some touristy stuff mixed in. Mind you, this is…read moretouristy stuff that is actually thoughtful and that locals would want to buy! The 5-stars is mainly for being open year-round. Seward is a ghost town in the winter. It feels like 80% of business are closed, making it challenging and frustrating for Alaska residents to visit in the off-season. The main/only negative is that the prices are high, really high. Also, the anti-science rhetoric around GMO foods is a huge turnoff. We need more science in our food supply chain, not less. Fear mongering and food shaming (see also: "clean eating") by people of great privilege is not helpful to improving the outcomes of those that are less fortunate. GMO fresh veggies are about 1000X as healthy as non-GMO, organic, GF cookies. Not everyone can afford massively expensive organic/non-GMO/GF/etc products. And eating those is not necessary for good health for the vast majority of people.

    Great natural grocery and wellness shop…read more Everything is pretty much full sized here - so it's more for local grocery shopping. So much healthy goodness! A mini Whole Foods: pantry, frozen, beauty and even a cafe/smoothie shop in the back! We stopped in to do some browsing, ended up with some healing hand lotion, sulfate free dried organic cranberries and some cute Darn Tough socks for gifts.

    My wife and I took the Alaska Railroad Coastal Classic to Seward on May 31, 2026. Got off the train…read moreand walked from the Seward Depot toward town. We were hungry and we could choose all the well-known tourist eateries and pay big bucks, or we could go into Alaska Seafood Grill for a more quiet, family-friendly experience. Walking in at 12:40 PM, we saw that we needed to order at the counter and they would bring the food to our table. There were some open tables, so we did not have to wait to be seated. We reviewed the items on the chalkboard menu above the ordering counter. I don't eat seafood, but luckily they offered a BBQ Bacon Burger with fries. My wife ordered seafood chowder. We also ordered a side of onion rings and bought a brownie for later. I found the burger and fries to be very filling and tasty. My wife enjoyed her chowder. We both liked the onion rings, which were NOT greasy at all. The brownie was soft, chocolatey, and VERY good, just the way we like it. The inside of the restaurant is definitely not what you would call a high-end environment. But, it was clean, quiet, functional, bright, and, most importantly, had clean tables and chairs on which to sit. The staff were all very friendly and answered all our questions. There was a man, perhaps he was the manager?, who walked, dressed, and spoke like he would be more at home in Boston instead of Seward. This is NOT a complaint about him, just an observation. We spoke with him and he answered all our questions in a friendly manner. I don't know that we will ever visit Seward again, but if we do we would definitely return to Alaska Seafood Grill for lunch.

    We stopped by here after an 8.5-hour cruise--it's super convenient since it's right across from the…read moreharbor where the cruises dock. Prices lean toward the higher side for a casual establishment though that seems to be the norm in Seward. For comparison, I paid about the same for fish and chips at another nice restaurant nearby the night before. A heads-up: the fish here is fried with panko breading, so if you're (like me) expecting New Zealand-style or classic English beer-battered this might not hit the mark. The fries were excellent tho and the seafood chowder was the real star--rich, flavorful, and loaded with salmon chunks. Would I order the fish and chips again? Probably not. But I'd definitely come back just for seafood chowder!!
